C-5.1 Growth Work

(a) The government anticipates that any subsequent repairs identified as a result of work items associated with this requirement may be performed by the awardee in accordance with the applicable Changes clause. The contractor must be able to absorb an estimated 15% of the total amount awarded during the period of performance.

(b) Growth work is defined as any additional work identified after award of contract that is required to complete the original scope of work.

Performance of authorized growth work shall commence after the issuance of a contract modification. The

In the event the Contractor effects any change at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made in time required for performance or the contract price to cover any increase in charges incurred as a result thereof.
